A Conservative Home poll has found 71 percent of Conservative party members
would vote for Britain to leave the EU

The poll has revealed 71 percent of members would vote for Brexit, whilst just 24 percent say they would prefer to remain in the Europe Union.

It comes as David Cameron insists the pace of Britain's renegotiation in Europe will "quicken" this month, as he faces pressure to make his demands for reform public.

The Prime Minister is expected to send a letter to Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, within the next two weeks.

Speaking in Iceland last week, Mr Cameron said he was confident of securing "big changes" for Britain before the upcoming referendum.

This week the Chancellor is travelling to Berlin Mr Osborne where he will meet Wolfgang Schauble, the German finance minister, and Sigmar Gabriel, the economic affairs minister.

George Osborne has said he will disclose more details of Britain’s renegotiation demands as he engages in talks on reforming Brussels.

Speaking before his visit, he said: “The UK and German economies are the beating heart of Europe, the engine for growth and jobs,

“Together we make the world’s third-largest economy, behind only America and China and since the crisis ended, we have generated two-thirds of EU growth.

“But the future holds challenges for our economies. We must cut debt and boost productivity. To do this, we need a strong EU, fit for today’s challenges and working for the benefit of all 28 member states."

When asked about the possible timing of the vote, he said: "We will hold the referendum when we have a deal we can recommend to the British people."

Last week Mr Cameron warned during a visit to Norway that life outside the European Union would not be a "land of milk and honey".

The Prime Minister is expected to campaign against Brexit during the referendum which will be held before the end of 2017.
